It's as if they think they don't have to put any effort into winning a title just because they were above every team in the NBA by miles, in the regular season. Well this isn't the regular season and the Pistons have failed to understand that the Cavs really DONT have anything to lose in this series, so they go out there and play their game, while Detroit bitches and moans about calls, however fair they are. But I also understand their mentality now, and it's a do or die mentality they haven't had to deal with since that famous series with New Jersey two years ago.. And with that mentality, they are THE most dangerous team in sports by far. I agree there is a chance the Cavs can take it tonight but I don't think it will happen. The Pistons have said that they are dead serious about tonight and lets face it, if they actually mean it for once, the CAVS are in real trouble, and frankly do not stand a chance. The only good game the Pistons played was in game one, which is a blowout. I look for them to come out and win big tonight, and finish it at home. The REAL series is the one after that, which is going to be incredible. On another note, this is a really great read..
